All is well now.

Good luck with your storm.

YW

And thanks. Sleet should be switching back over to snow tonight. Yippee.

Another blanket of actual SNOW last night here. And Raleigh had it's own Snowpocalypse, when the area interstates were completely jammed w/ commuters caught trying to go home. All at the same time.

Just 2 weeks after we saw all this in Atlanta.

Could be worse. General Sherman's troops could be ravaging the city.

Here in the DMV we got a pretty good snow as well. Measures 7+ inches at my house, and another dose of 'only' 2 to 3 inches this evening. Virginia DOT has already spent their snow removal budget, and is dipping into general funds now to keep the roads clear.

Have to admit they're doing better now than in years previous. Used to be that they wouldn't get down to our cul de sac (Hey. I don't live on a dead end street. It's a cul de sac) for two or three days after a storm, by which time the folks living here had already dug the road out.

Now, we've already had plow trucks make two passes this morning.

Don't you just heart global warming ?

"Climate Change", please. "Global Warming" is so 20th century.

At least 12 inches so far just outside NYC, with hours and hours more to go, including a change to sleet and rain. It's pretty awesome.

I don't exactly *heart* climate change/global warming, since extreme weather events like this and like Jan 28 and Sandy and the CA drought etc... are becoming more common, exactly as CC/GW predicts. I love a good storm, so I'm not complaining. I'm having fun today, and even found the chaos of Sandy and Irene somewhat invigorating.

But I'm guessing that the thousands without power or those stuck in their cars for days or those who lost houses or livelihoods or their lives in these weather events wouldn't agree with me, or with you two buffoons.

Carry on.

But they aren't. That's the kicker. The US went through a massive lull in hurricanes to make landfall after '05. "Events like Sandy "? You serious, Clark ? Sandy was Sandy. 1 is not a pattern or increase of 'extreme 'anything. It was a storm. And only a Cat 2 storm at that.

And Irene ? Irene ... was the first hurricane to have made landfall in New Jersey since 1903 !

It may be another 100 years before that part of the US coastline sees another hurricane.

So, the name calling because we recognize the weather for what it is, and don't buy into the hysteria ?

Wow. I sure was served !
